Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, also known as nose surgery, designed to alter the shape of the nose to achieve a harmoniously balanced and natural appearance on the face. This procedure allows for the reduction, augmentation, or correction of the nose and is a common cosmetic surgery performed in both men and women.

During rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes incisions according to either the closed or open approach. In the first case, incisions are placed internally, while in the second, an incision is made along the nasal columella. After gaining access to the nasal structure, the surgeon reshapes bone and cartilage to correct size, shape, and proportion.
The nostrils are also adjusted as necessary to achieve aesthetic symmetry. Finally, the incisions are closed with fine sutures, and dressings are applied, marking the beginning of the recovery period.
The main difference between open and closed rhinoplasty lies in the location of incisions. In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made internally, inside the nostrils, without leaving visible scars on the exterior. This approach minimizes swelling and facilitates potentially faster recovery.
On the other hand, open rhinoplasty involves an additional incision on the columella (the external part between the nostrils), providing broader and more direct access to the nasal structure. Although there may be a small scar on the columella, this approach allows for more detailed and precise adjustments, being preferred in more complex or revision procedures.

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are those in good health, with realistic expectations, and those seeking to enhance the aesthetic appearance or address functional issues of the nose. Evaluation with a certified cosmetic surgeon will determine the suitability of the procedure.
Yes, functional rhinoplasty can address breathing problems, such as deviations of the nasal septum. In many cases, it is performed alongside aesthetic rhinoplasty.
No, rhinoplasty surgery typically does not leave visible scars on the exterior. The incisions are made internally, making them imperceptible externally.
The medications recommended after rhinoplasty surgery typically include pain relievers to manage pain and antibiotics to prevent infections.
The risks and potential complications associated with rhinoplasty may include nasal bleeding, infection, changes in skin sensitivity, pain, skin discoloration or swelling, and in some cases, difficulty breathing.
